Description

La présente invention concerne une prothèse cotyloïdienne, notamment du type dit "à double mobilité". Elle concerne également un outil d'impaction de cette prothèse cotyloïdienne dans la cavité cotyloïdienne du bassin d'un patient. Comme cela est bien connu, une prothèse cotyloïdienne comprend une coque, aussi dénommée "cupule", en matériau rigide tel qu'un matériau métallique biocompatible, et un insert, aussi dénommé "noyau", en matériau favorisant le glissement, notamment en polyéthylène à haute densité. La coque est destinée à être mise en place dans la cavité cotyloïdienne du bassin d'un patient, par impaction dans cette cavité, et est apte à recevoir l'insert dans une cavité qu'elle délimite intérieurement. L'insert délimite une cavité articulaire destinée à recevoir la tête prothétique d'une tige fémorale fixée à l'extrémité supérieure du fémur. L'impaction de la coque dans la cavité cotyloïdienne est réalisée au moyen d'un outil d'impaction approprié, ladite coque étant montée sur cet outil au mornent de l'opération d'impaction. The present invention relates to an acetabular prosthesis, in particular of the so-called "dual mobility" type. It also relates to an impaction tool of this cotyloid prosthesis in the acetabular cavity of a patient's pelvis. As is well known, an acetabular prosthesis comprises a shell, also called a "cupule", made of a rigid material such as a biocompatible metallic material, and an insert, also called "core", made of a material that promotes sliding, especially polyethylene. high density. The shell is intended to be placed in the acetabular cavity of a patient's pelvis, by impaction in this cavity, and is able to receive the insert in a cavity that it delimits internally. The insert defines an articular cavity for receiving the prosthetic head of a femoral stem attached to the upper end of the femur. The impaction of the shell in the acetabular cavity is carried out by means of a suitable impaction tool, said shell being mounted on this tool at the time of the impaction operation.

Un type de prothèse cotyloïdienne connue comprend un insert mobile par rapport à la coque, une telle prothèse étant dite "à double mobilité" (mobilité de l'insert par rapport à la coque, d'une part, et mobilité de la tige fémorale par rapport à l'insert, d'autre part). Dans ce type de prothèse, la coque présente une face interne lisse et continue, ayant une forme substantiellement hémisphérique, et l'insert présente une face extérieure correspondante, également lisse, continue et de forme substantiellement: hémisphérique ou en portion de sphère. Ce type de prothèse a pour inconvénient de présenter une difficulté notable de liaison de la coque à l'outil d'impaction compte tenu de la forme substantiellement hémisphérique et du caractère lisse et continu de la face interne de la coque. Or, cette liaison doit être parfaitement résistante pour assurer le maintien de la coque par rapport à l'outil d'impaction au cours de l'opération d'impaction, et pour assurer le maintien de la coque sur l'outil au cours des différents manipulations de cet outil. De plus, le montage de la coque sur l'outil doit pouvoir être réalisé de manière relativement simple et rapide afin de ne pas affecter négativement le déroulement de l'intervention. Les coques et outils d'impaction connus ne donnent pas pleinement satisfaction de ce point de vue, et un objectif principal de l'invention est de remédier à cet inconvénient. One type of acetabulum known comprises a movable insert relative to the shell, such a prosthesis being called "dual mobility" (mobility of the insert relative to the shell, on the one hand, and mobility of the femoral stem by relative to the insert, on the other hand). In this type of prosthesis, the shell has a smooth and continuous inner face, having a substantially hemispherical shape, and the insert has a corresponding outer face, also smooth, continuous and substantially: hemispherical or sphere portion. This type of prosthesis has the disadvantage of having a significant difficulty of binding the shell to the impaction tool given the substantially hemispherical shape and the smooth and continuous character of the inner face of the shell. However, this connection must be perfectly resistant to maintain the shell relative to the impaction tool during the impaction operation, and to maintain the shell on the tool during the different manipulations of this tool. In addition, the mounting of the shell on the tool must be able to be achieved in a relatively simple and fast manner so as not to negatively affect the progress of the intervention. The hulls and known impaction tools do not give full satisfaction from this point of view, and a main objective of the invention is to overcome this disadvantage.

Les prothèses "à double mobilité" connues ont également pour inconvénient de présenter un risque notable d'échappement de l'insert hors de la coque, conduisant à une luxation de l'articulation. L'invention a pour objectif supplémentaire de fournir une prothèse cotyloïdienne dans laquelle ce risque d'échappement serait réduit. Par ailleurs, l'insert d'une prothèse cotyloïdienne, notamment d'une prothèse "à double mobilité", comprend souvent une nervure périphérique interne au niveau de l'entrée de la cavité articulaire que délimite cet insert, cette nervure étant destinée à assurer une rétention de la tête fémorale prothétique dans cette cavité. La nervure, aussi dénommée "listel", est franchie en force par la tête prothétique lors de l'engagement de cette tête dans la cavité articulaire, ce franchissement étant rendu possible par une légère possibilité de déformation élastique de l'insert dans le sens radial ; une fois ce franchissement accompli, le rappel élastique de l'insert dans sa forme d'origine assure une rétention de la tête dans ladite cavité. Dans les prothèses connues, de telles nervures présentent une forme trapézoïdale en section transversale, c'est-à-dire comprennent des flancs inclinés et une face médiane périphérique d'axe parallèle à l'axe polaire de l'insert. The known "dual mobility" prostheses also have the disadvantage of presenting a significant risk of escape of the insert out of the shell, leading to dislocation of the joint. The object of the invention is to provide an acetabulum prosthesis in which this risk of escape would be reduced. Moreover, the insert of an acetabular prosthesis, in particular of a "dual mobility" prosthesis, often comprises an internal peripheral rib at the level of the inlet of the articular cavity delimited by this insert, this rib being intended to ensure a retention of the prosthetic femoral head in this cavity. The rib, also called "listel", is forcefully crossed by the prosthetic head during the engagement of this head in the articular cavity, this crossing being made possible by a slight possibility of elastic deformation of the insert in the radial direction. ; once this crossing is completed, the elastic return of the insert in its original form ensures a retention of the head in said cavity. In known prostheses, such ribs have a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, that is to say comprise sloping flanks and a peripheral medial face with an axis parallel to the polar axis of the insert.

Il a pu être constaté qu'une nervure de cette forme était sujette à usure lorsque l'insert vient rencontrer le col de la tige fémorale dans les positions extrêmes de débattement articulaire, conduisant non seulement à un amoindrissement de l'effet rétentif de ces nervures mais également à une diffusion néfaste de particules de polyéthylène dans l'organisme du patient. It has been found that a rib of this shape was subject to wear when the insert meets the neck of the femoral stem in the extreme positions of joint movement, leading not only to a decrease in the retentive effect of these ribs but also to a harmful diffusion of polyethylene particles in the body of the patient.

La prothèse selon l'invention a aussi pour objectif de remédier à cet inconvénient. La prothèse concernée est du type dit "à double mobilité" et comprend paconséquent, de manière connue en soi, une coque en matériau rigide et un insert en matériau favorisant le glissement destiné à être reçu dans une cavité que forme cette coque, ladite cavité étant délimitée par une paroi de la coque formant une face intérieure lisse et continue, ayant une forme substantiellement hémisphérique, et l'insert présentant une face extérieure lisse et continue propre à venir intimement au contact de cette face intérieure de la coque et à glisser contre celle-ci. The prosthesis according to the invention also aims to overcome this disadvantage. The prosthesis in question is of the so-called "dual mobility" type and comprises, in a manner known per se, a shell made of rigid material and an insert made of a material promoting sliding which is intended to be received in a cavity formed by this shell, said cavity being delimited by a wall of the shell forming a smooth and continuous inner face, having a substantially hemispherical shape, and the insert having a smooth and continuous outer face clean to come intimately in contact with this inner face of the shell and to slide against that -this.

Selon l'invention, la paroi de la coque se prolonge au-delà du plan équatorial de l'hémisphère définie par ladite face intérieure et forme : - sur un arc inférieur à 180 degrés de la périphérie de la coque, une première partie de paroi définissant une face interne arrondie venant dans la continuité de ladite face intérieure de la coque, selon la même courbure que celle de cette face intérieure ; - du côté de la coque diamétralement opposé au côté sur lequel s'étend ladite première partie de paroi, une deuxième partie de paroi définissant une face interne cylindrique dont les génératrices s'étendent sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe polaire de l'hémisphère que forme ladite face intérieure, cette face interne venant dans la continuité de ladite face intérieure de la coque. L'outil d'impaction de cette coque comprend : - une première pièce d'appui pouvant venir en engagement avec ladite première partie de paroi, de manière telle que cet engagement réalise une liaison de cet outil avec la coque selon une direction sensiblement parallèle audit axe polaire ; - une deuxième pièce d'appui pouvant, lorsque ladite première pièce d'appui est en engagement avec ladite première partie de paroi, venir en engagement avec ladite deuxième partie de paroi, et - des moyens serrables permettant de déplacer ladite première pièce d'appui et ladite deuxième pièce d'appui l'une par rapport à l'autre de manière à serrer ces pièces d'appui contre lesdites parties de paroi respectives de la coque. Ainsi, la coque de la prothèse selon l'invention présente deux parties de paroi s'étendant au-delà du plan équatorial de l'hémisphère formée par la face intérieure de la coque, à savoir une première partie de paroi qui s'étend sur moins de 180 degrés de la périphérique de la coque et qui définit une face prolongeant la courbure de la face intérieure de cette coque, et la deuxième partie de paroi, située sur un côté diamétralement opposé à ladite première partie de paroi, qui définit une face interne cylindrique dont les génératrices s'étendent sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe polaire de l'hémisphère que forme ladite face intérieure. Compte tenu de sa courbure, la première partie de paroi "se referme" radialement en direction dudit axe polaire, c'est-à-dire présente, au niveau de son bord libre, un diamètre inférieur à celui qu'elle présente au niveau dudit plan équatorial ; cette première partie de paroi rend ainsi possible un assemblage de la coque à l'outil d'impaction avec une liaison selon une direction parallèle à l'axe polaire de la coque. La deuxième partie de paroi ne se "referme" pas, définissant une face interne cylindrique, et permet ainsi l'introduction de l'outil d'impaction dans la coque en vue du montage de cette coque sur cet outil ; elle forme, du côté diamétralement opposé à la première partie de paroi, une face d'appui pour cet outil d'impaction, permettant d'établir une liaison entre cet outil et la coque dans une direction sensiblement parallèle audit plan équatorial. La coque selon l'invention permet ainsi de réaliser une liaison parfaitement 10 résistante entre elle et l'outil d'impaction, tant dans le sens axial que dans le sens radial de cette coque. Les deux parties de paroi n'interfèrent par ailleurs pas avec le mouvement: de l'insert dans la coque, compte tenu de leur venue en continuité de la face intérieure de la coque ; elles n'interfèrent pas non plus avec les tissus qu 15 environnent la cavité cotyloïdienne du bassin du patient, pouvant avoir des hauteurs restent relativement limitées. Dans le but de ne pas être agressifs pour lesdits tissus, avantageusement, le bord libre de ladite première partie de paroi et/ou de ladite deuxième partie de paroi peut être arrondi. 20 De préférence, ladite première partie de paroi s'étend sur un arc de 180 degrés, ou proche de 180 degrés, le long de l'ouverture de la cavité de la coque. Cette première partie de paroi permet ainsi une surface étendue d'engagement avec ladite première pièce d'appui de l'outil d'impaction. 25 De préférence, la coque comprend ladite première partie de paroi au niveau de son "quadrant supérieur", c'est-à-dire de sa portion destinée à se trouver, après implantation, le long de la paroi osseuse délimitant la zone supérieure de la cavité cotyloïdienne. Cette première partie de paroi participe ainsi à augmenter la surface 30 d'appui de l'insert contre la paroi de la coque et s'oppose à un échappement de l'insert hors de la coque dans la position extrême de débattement de l'articulation en varus. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, lorsque l'insert comprend une nervure interne de rétention de la tête prothétique dans la cavité articulaire que délimite cet insert, cette nervure présente, vue en section transversale, une forme arrondie. La nervure vient ainsi rencontrer le col fémoral de la tige fémorale par une surface arrondie, moins sujette à usure et à diffusion de particules qu'une surface à faces planes et arêtes vives selon la technique antérieure. L'insert peut comprendre, à la suite de cette nervure en direction de ladite cavité articulaire, une surface conique puis une surface cylindrique, toutes deux coaxiales à la cavité articulaire, la surface cylindrique étant raccordée à la surface hémisphérhque délimitant principalement ladite cavité articulaire. According to the invention, the wall of the shell extends beyond the equatorial plane of the hemisphere defined by said inner face and forms: - on an arc less than 180 degrees from the periphery of the shell, a first wall portion defining a rounded inner face in the continuity of said inner face of the shell, according to the same curvature as that of this inner face; - On the side of the shell diametrically opposite the side on which extends said first wall portion, a second wall portion defining a cylindrical inner face whose generatrices extend substantially parallel to the polar axis of the hemisphere that form said inner face, this inner face coming in the continuity of said inner face of the shell. The impaction tool of this shell comprises: a first bearing part that can come into engagement with said first wall part, such that this engagement makes a connection of this tool with the shell in a direction substantially parallel to said polar axis; a second bearing piece which, when said first bearing piece is in engagement with said first wall part, comes into engagement with said second wall part, and - sizeable means for moving said first support piece and said second support member relative to each other so as to clamp said support members against said respective wall portions of the shell. Thus, the shell of the prosthesis according to the invention has two wall portions extending beyond the equatorial plane of the hemisphere formed by the inner face of the shell, namely a first wall portion which extends over less than 180 degrees from the shell peripheral and defining a face extending the curvature of the inner face of this shell, and the second wall portion, located on a side diametrically opposed to said first wall portion, which defines a face internal cylindrical whose generatrices extend substantially parallel to the polar axis of the hemisphere formed by said inner face. Given its curvature, the first wall portion "closes" radially towards said polar axis, that is to say, present at its free edge, a diameter smaller than that which it has at said level. equatorial plane; this first wall portion thus makes it possible to assemble the shell to the impaction tool with a connection in a direction parallel to the polar axis of the shell. The second wall portion does not "close", defining a cylindrical inner face, and thus allows the introduction of the impaction tool in the shell for the mounting of this shell on this tool; it forms, on the opposite side diametrically to the first wall portion, a bearing surface for this impaction tool, for establishing a connection between this tool and the shell in a direction substantially parallel to said equatorial plane. The shell according to the invention thus makes it possible to achieve a perfectly strong connection between it and the impaction tool, both in the axial direction and in the radial direction of this shell. The two wall parts also do not interfere with the movement: of the insert in the shell, given their continuity in the inner face of the shell; they also do not interfere with the tissues surrounding the acetabulum of the patient's pelvis, which may have relatively limited heights. In order not to be aggressive for said fabrics, advantageously, the free edge of said first wall portion and / or said second wall portion may be rounded. Preferably, said first wall portion extends over an arc of 180 degrees, or near 180 degrees, along the opening of the cavity of the shell. This first wall part thus allows an extended surface of engagement with said first bearing part of the impaction tool. Preferably, the shell comprises said first wall portion at its "upper quadrant", that is to say its portion intended to be, after implantation, along the bone wall delimiting the upper zone of the the acetabulum. This first part of the wall thus participates in increasing the support surface of the insert against the wall of the shell and opposes an escape of the insert from the shell in the extreme position of movement of the joint in varus. According to another aspect of the invention, when the insert comprises an internal retaining rib of the prosthetic head in the articular cavity delimited by this insert, this rib has, seen in cross section, a rounded shape. The rib thus meets the femoral neck of the femoral stem by a rounded surface, less subject to wear and scattering of particles than a surface with flat faces and sharp edges according to the prior art. The insert may comprise, following this rib in the direction of said joint cavity, a conical surface and a cylindrical surface, both coaxial with the articular cavity, the cylindrical surface being connected to the hemispherical surface delimiting said articular cavity.

La surface cylindrique permet l'existence d'un jeu suffisant entre la nervure et la tête prothétique pour rendre possible l'encliquetage de cette tête prothétique dans ladite cavité articulaire. L'invention sera bien comprise, et d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront, en référence au dessin schématique annexé, représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée de la prothèse qu'elle concerne. La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une coque qu'elle comprend ; la figure 2 est une vue de cette coque similaire à la figure 1, en coupe passant par l'axe polaire de cette coque ; la figure 3 est une vue schématique de la coque selon cet axe polaire, du côté de l'ouverture d'une cavité que délimite cette coque les figures 4 à 6 sont des vues en coupe selon respectivement les lignes IV-IV, V-V et VI-VI de la figure 3 ; la figure 7 est une vue en coupe de la prothèse et de la partie supérieure d'une tige fémorale, selon ledit axe polaire ; la figure 8 est une vue agrandie, similaire à la figure 7, d'une portion d'un insert que comprend la prothèse ; et les figures 9 à 12 sont des vues en coupe de ladite coque et d'un exemple de réalisation d'un outil d'impaction de cette coque dans une cavité cotyloïdienne, au cours de quatre phases successives de mise en place de la coque sur cet outil. La figure 7 représente une prothèse cotyloïdienne 1 comprenant une coque 2 en matériau rigide tel qu'un matériau métallique biocompatible, et un insert 3 en matériau favorisant le glissement, notamment en polyéthylène à haute densité. La coque 2 est destinée à être mise en place dans la cavité cotyloïdienne du bassin d'un patient, par impaction dans cette cavité, et est apte à recevoir l'insert 3 dans une cavité qu'elle délimite intérieurement. L'insert délimite une cavité articulaire destinée à recevoir la tête prothétique 4 d'une tige fémorale 5 fixée à l'extrémité supérieure du fémur. L'impaction de la coque 2 dans la cavité cotyloïdienne est réalisée au moyen d'un outil d'impaction 5C, visible sur les figures 9 à 12, la coque 2 étant montée sur cet outil 50 au moment de l'opération d'impaction. La prothèse 1 est du type dit "à double mobilité", dans laquelle la coque 2 présente une face intérieure 6 lisse et continue, dite "polie brillante", ayant une forme générale substantiellement hémisphérique, et l'insert 3 présente une face extérieure 7 correspondante, également lisse et continue, propre à venir intimement au contact de la face intérieure 6 et à glisser contre celle-ci. La "double mobilité" consiste par conséquent en une mobilité de l'insert 3 par rapport à la coque 2, d'une part, et en une mobilité de la tige fémorale 5 par rapport à l'insert 3, d'autre part. Comme cela apparaît sur la figure 7, le centre de l'insert 3 est, en position de montage, superposé au centre de rotation de la tête prothétique 4. Les figures 1 à 6 montrent que la paroi de la coque 2 se prolonge au-delà du plan équatorial PE de l'hémisphère définie par la face intérieure 6 et que cette paroi 2 forme : - sur un arc légèrement inférieur à 180 degrés de la périphérie de la coque 2, une première partie de paroi 10 définissant une face interne arrondie 11 venant dans la continuité de ladite face intérieure 6 de la coque 2, et ayant la même courbure que celle de cette face intérieure 6 (cf. notamment figures 3, 4 et 6) ; - du côté de la coque 2 diamétralement opposé au côté sur lequel s'étend ladite première partie de paroi 10, une deuxième partie de paroi 12 définissant une face interne cylindrique 13 dont les génératrices s'étendent sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe polaire AP de l'hémisphère que forme ladite face intérieure 6, cette face interne 13 venant dans la continuité de ladite face intérieure 6 (cf. notamment figures 3 et 5). Les portions de paroi 14 intermédiaires entre les parties de paroi 10 et 12 présentent des bords courbes de raccordement progressif de ces parties de paroi 10 et 12. The cylindrical surface allows the existence of sufficient clearance between the rib and the prosthetic head to make possible the latching of the prosthetic head in said joint cavity. The invention will be better understood, and other features and advantages thereof will appear, with reference to the accompanying drawing, showing, by way of non-limiting example, a preferred embodiment of the prosthesis it relates. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shell it comprises; FIG. 2 is a view of this shell similar to FIG. 1, in section passing through the polar axis of this shell; FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the shell along this polar axis, on the opening side of a cavity defined by this shell FIGS. 4 to 6 are sectional views along the lines IV-IV, VV and VI, respectively. -VI of Figure 3; Figure 7 is a sectional view of the prosthesis and the upper part of a femoral stem along said polar axis; Figure 8 is an enlarged view, similar to Figure 7, of a portion of an insert that includes the prosthesis; and FIGS. 9 to 12 are cross-sectional views of said shell and an exemplary embodiment of a tool for impactioning this shell in an acetabular cavity, during four successive phases of placing the shell on this tool. FIG. 7 represents an acetabular prosthesis 1 comprising a shell 2 made of rigid material such as a biocompatible metallic material, and an insert 3 made of a material promoting sliding, in particular of high density polyethylene. The shell 2 is intended to be placed in the acetabular cavity of a patient's pelvis, by impaction in this cavity, and is able to receive the insert 3 in a cavity that it delimits internally. The insert defines an articular cavity for receiving the prosthetic head 4 of a femoral stem 5 fixed to the upper end of the femur. The impaction of the shell 2 in the acetabulum cavity is performed by means of an impaction tool 5C, visible in FIGS. 9 to 12, the shell 2 being mounted on this tool 50 at the time of the impaction operation. . The prosthesis 1 is of the so-called "double mobility" type, in which the shell 2 has a smooth, continuous, so-called "glossy polished" inner face 6 having a generally substantially hemispherical shape, and the insert 3 has an outer face 7 corresponding, also smooth and continuous, clean intimately coming into contact with the inner face 6 and slide against it. The "dual mobility" therefore consists of a mobility of the insert 3 relative to the shell 2, on the one hand, and a mobility of the femoral stem 5 relative to the insert 3, on the other hand. As shown in FIG. 7, the center of the insert 3 is, in the mounting position, superimposed on the center of rotation of the prosthetic head 4. FIGS. 1 to 6 show that the wall of the shell 2 extends beyond the equatorial plane PE of the hemisphere defined by the inner face 6 and this wall 2 forms: - on an arc slightly less than 180 degrees from the periphery of the shell 2, a first wall portion 10 defining a rounded inner face 11 coming in the continuity of said inner face 6 of the shell 2, and having the same curvature as that of this inner face 6 (see in particular Figures 3, 4 and 6); - On the side of the shell 2 diametrically opposite the side on which said first wall portion 10 extends, a second wall portion 12 defining a cylindrical inner face 13 whose generatrices extend substantially parallel to the polar axis AP of the hemisphere formed by said inner face 6, this inner face 13 coming in the continuity of said inner face 6 (see in particular FIGS. 3 and 5). The wall portions 14 intermediate between the wall portions 10 and 12 have curved edges of progressive connection of these wall portions 10 and 12.

Les bords libres des parties de paroi 10 et 12 et des portions intermédiaires 14 sont arrondis de manière à ne pas être agressifs pour les tissus environnants la cavité cotyloïdienne. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, la coque 2 est destinée à être ancrée à un bassin par croissance de cellules osseuses au travers d'un revêtement poreux qu'elle comprend sur sa face extérieure. Ce revêtement peut être formé de particules de titane frittées et comprendre une couche de matériau ostéo-inducteur, notamment d'hydroxyapatite de calcium. Pour son ancrage primaire, la coque 2 comprencl, sensiblement sur la moitié de sa hauteur et du côté de son équateur, des séries de plots rectangulaires saillants 15, dites également "monostructures". Ces plots 15 sont délimités par des rainures parallèles et méridiennes aménagées dans une partie plus épaisse de la paroi de la coque 2, située du côté de l'équateur de cette coque. The free edges of the wall portions 10 and 12 and the intermediate portions 14 are rounded so as not to be aggressive to the tissues surrounding the acetabulum. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the shell 2 is intended to be anchored to a pool by growth of bone cells through a porous coating that comprises on its outer face. This coating may be formed of sintered titanium particles and comprise a layer of osteoinductive material, in particular calcium hydroxyapatite. For its primary anchorage, the shell 2 includes, substantially on half of its height and on the side of its equator, series of rectangular studs protruding 15, also called "monostructures". These studs 15 are delimited by parallel and meridian grooves arranged in a thicker part of the wall of the shell 2, located on the equator side of this shell.

La coque 2 pourrait comprendre également des nervures méridiennes s'étendant entre cette partie plus épaisse et son pôle. Dans une autre version, destinée à être fixée au bassin du patient par un ciment polymérisable, la coque 2 comprend des rainures méridiennes et/ou parallèles aménagées dans l'épaisseur de sa paroi, s'étendant sur l'ensemble de sa surface. En outre, pour permettre l'impaction de la coque dans la cavité cotyloïdienne sans risque d'expulsion, la coque 2 comprend un méplat: polaire 16 sur sa face extérieure. Comme cela apparaît sur les figures 7 et 8, l'insert 3 comprend une nervure périphérique interne 20 au niveau de l'entrée de la cavité articulaire que délimite cet insert 3, destinée à permettre la rétention de la tête prothétique 4 dans cette cavité. Cette nervure 20, également dénommée couramment "listel", est franchie en force par la tête 4 lors de l'engagement de cette tête dans cette cavité articulaire, ce franchissement étant rendu possible par une légère possibilité de déformation élastique de l'insert 3 dans le sens radial ; une fois ce franchissement accompli, le rappel élastique de l'insert 3 dans sa forme d'origine assure la rétention de la tête 4 dans ladite cavité. La figure 8 montre particulièrement que la nervure 20 est arrondie et que l'insert 3 comprend, à la suite de cette nervure en direction de l'intérieur de 35 ladite cavité articulaire, une surface conique périphérique 21 puis une surface cylindrique 22, toutes deux coaxiales à la cavité articulaire, la surface cylindrique (22) étant raccordée à la surface hémisphérique 23 délimitart principalement ladite cavité articulaire. II apparaît sur la figure 7 que, dans une position extrême de débattement de la tige fémorale 5, la nervure 20 vient rencontrer le c:ol 5a de cette tige par une surface arrondie, moins sujette à usure et à diffusion de particules qu'une surface à faces planes et arêtes vives selon la technique antérieure. La surface 22 permet, quant à elle, l'existence d'un jeu suffisant entre la nervure 20 et la tête 4 pour rendre possible l'encliquetage de cette tête dans ladite cavité articulaire. Les figures 9 à 12 montrent une forme de réalisation possible de l'outil d'impaction 50. Selon cette forme de réalisation, l'outil 50 comprend plusieurs pièces d'appui 51, 52 en forme de secteurs de cercle, au minimum au nombre de deux et pouvant être au nombre de trois ou de quatre, montées dans un corps 53 avec possibilité de mobilité radiale par rapport à ce corps 53. Cette mobilité se fait entre une position radialement interne, montrée sur les figures 9 à 11, dans laquelle l'outil 50 peut être introduit dans la cavité délimitée par la coque 2, el: une position radialement externe, montrée sur la figure 12, dans laquelle les pièces d'appui 51, 52 peuvent prendre appui respectivement contre les parties de paroi 10 et 12 et assurer ainsi le montage de la coque 2 sur l'outil 50. La ou les pièces d'appui 51 comprennent des tranches radialement externes 51a, arrondies vue en coupe, ayant une forme correspondant à celle de la face interne 11 de ladite première partie de paroi 10 et étant propres à venir en application contre une large portion de cette face interne 11. La ou les autres pièces d'appui 52 comprennent des tranches radialement externes 52a, droites vues en coupe, ayant une forme correspondant à celle de la face interne 13 de ladite deuxième partie de paroi 12 et étant propres à venir en application contre une large portion de cette face interne 13. The shell 2 could also include meridian ribs extending between this thicker part and its pole. In another version, intended to be fixed to the patient's pelvis by a polymerizable cement, the shell 2 comprises meridian and / or parallel grooves arranged in the thickness of its wall, extending over its entire surface. In addition, to allow the impaction of the shell in the acetabular cavity without risk of expulsion, the shell 2 comprises a flat polar 16 on its outer face. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the insert 3 comprises an inner peripheral rib 20 at the inlet of the articular cavity that defines this insert 3, intended to allow the retention of the prosthetic head 4 in this cavity. This rib 20, also commonly called "listel", is forcefully crossed by the head 4 during the engagement of this head in this joint cavity, this crossing being made possible by a slight possibility of elastic deformation of the insert 3 in the radial direction; once this crossing is completed, the elastic return of the insert 3 in its original form ensures the retention of the head 4 in said cavity. FIG. 8 particularly shows that the rib 20 is rounded and that the insert 3 comprises, following this rib towards the inside of said articular cavity, a peripheral conical surface 21 and then a cylindrical surface 22, both coaxial with the articular cavity, the cylindrical surface (22) being connected to the hemispherical surface 23 delimits mainly said articular cavity. It appears in FIG. 7 that, in an extreme position of displacement of the femoral stem 5, the rib 20 meets the c-ol 5a of this rod by a rounded surface, less subject to wear and scattering of particles than surface with flat faces and sharp edges according to the prior art. The surface 22 allows, for its part, the existence of sufficient clearance between the rib 20 and the head 4 to make it possible to snap this head into said joint cavity. FIGS. 9 to 12 show a possible embodiment of the impaction tool 50. According to this embodiment, the tool 50 comprises several support pieces 51, 52 in the form of sectors of a circle, at least in number of two and can be three or four, mounted in a body 53 with the possibility of radial mobility relative to the body 53. This mobility is between a radially internal position, shown in Figures 9 to 11, in which the tool 50 can be introduced into the cavity delimited by the shell 2, el: a radially external position, shown in FIG. 12, in which the bearing parts 51, 52 can bear respectively against the wall portions 10 and 12 and thus ensure the mounting of the shell 2 on the tool 50. The or the support pieces 51 comprise radially outer slices 51a, rounded sectional view, having a shape corresponding to that of the inner face 11 of said first part wall 10 and being adapted to be applied against a large portion of this inner face 11. The other or the support parts 52 comprise radially outer slices 52a, straight seen in section, having a shape corresponding to that of the face internal 13 of said second wall portion 12 and being adapted to be applied against a large portion of this inner face 13.

Sur leurs côtés opposés auxdites tranches 51a, 52a, lesdites pièces d'appui 51, 52 comprennent des zones arrondies en portions de trou conique, ces différentes zones formant un trou conique lorsque les pièces d'appui 51, 52 sont montées dans le corps 53. Les pièces d'appui 51, 52 sont montées entre deux plaques du corps 53, 35 en étant reliées à ces plaques au moyen de boulons 54. Les pièces d'appui 51, 52 comprennent des lumières radiales 55 dans lesquelles sont engagés ces boulons 54, permettant la mobilité radiale des pièces d'appui par rapport au corps 53. La plaque proximale du corps 53 comprend une partie tubulaire axiale 56 proximale, et la partie distale de ce corps comprend une extension tubulaire axiale 60 distale, pourvue d'une collerette distale d'appui contre la zone polaire interne de la coque 2. L'outil 50 comprend également un ensemble axial incluant une vis 57, un écrou conique 58 taraudé, dans lequel peut être vissée la vis 57, et une paire d'écrou/contre-écrou 59 portant contre la partie tubulaire axiale 56. Avant montage d'une coque 2 sur l'outil 50, l'écrou 58 est dévissé par rapport à la vis 57, permettant aux pièces d'appui 51, 52 d'adopter ladite position radialement interne (cf. figure 9). La coque 2 peut ainsi être engagée sur les pièces d'appui 51, 52 (cf. figure 10) jusqu'à ce que les faces distales de ces pièces se trouvent sensiblement au niveau du plan équatorial PE (cf. figure 11). Dans cette position, la collerette distale de l'extension 60 est en appui contre la zone polaire interne de la coque 2. La vis 57 est alors vissée dans l'écrou 58, provoquant le déplacement de cet écrou dans la direction proximale. Ce déplacement amène l'écrou 58 à porter contre les pièces d'appui 51, 52, déplaçant ces pièces dans ladite position radialement externe et amenant ces pièces à porter respectivement contre la partie de paroi 10 et la partie de paroi 12. La venue en engagement de la ou des pièces 51 avec ladite première partie de paroi 10 réalise une liaison de l'outil 50 avec la coque 2 selon une direction sensiblement parallèle audit axe polaire AP, compte tenu de la forme "refermée" radialement de cette paroi ; la venue en engagement de la ou des. pièces 52 avec ladite deuxième partie de paroi 12 permet un serrage radial des, pièces 51, 52 contre la coque 2, et permet par conséquent d'assurer le montage de cette coque sur l'outil 50. On their opposite sides to said slices 51a, 52a, said support pieces 51, 52 comprise rounded areas in conical hole portions, these different zones forming a conical hole when the support pieces 51, 52 are mounted in the body 53 The support pieces 51, 52 are mounted between two plates of the body 53, 35 being connected to these plates by means of bolts 54. The bearing parts 51, 52 comprise radial slots 55 in which these bolts are engaged. 54, allowing the radial mobility of the bearing parts relative to the body 53. The proximal plate of the body 53 comprises a proximal axial tubular portion 56, and the distal portion of this body comprises a distal axial tubular extension 60, provided with a flange distal bearing against the inner polar zone of the shell 2. The tool 50 also comprises an axial assembly including a screw 57, a tapered nut 58 threaded, in which can be screwed screw 57, and a pair of ec Rou rou / against-nut 59 bearing against the axial tubular portion 56. Before mounting a shell 2 on the tool 50, the nut 58 is unscrewed relative to the screw 57, allowing the support pieces 51, 52 d adopt said radially internal position (cf. Figure 9). The shell 2 can thus be engaged on the support parts 51, 52 (see FIG. 10) until the distal faces of these parts are substantially at the level of the equatorial plane PE (FIG. In this position, the flange distal extension 60 is in abutment against the inner polar zone of the shell 2. The screw 57 is then screwed into the nut 58, causing the displacement of the nut in the proximal direction. This displacement causes the nut 58 to bear against the bearing parts 51, 52, moving these parts in said radially outer position and causing these parts to bear respectively against the wall portion 10 and the wall portion 12. engagement of the piece or parts 51 with said first wall portion 10 provides a connection of the tool 50 with the shell 2 in a direction substantially parallel to said polar axis AP, given the form "closed" radially of this wall; the coming into engagement of the one or more. parts 52 with said second wall portion 12 allows radial clamping of the parts 51, 52 against the shell 2, and therefore allows to assemble the shell on the tool 50.

Selon une autre forme de réalisation de l'outil 50, cet outil pourrait comprendre trois pièces d'appui, chacune en forme d'un tiers d'hémisphère, destinées à prendre place dans l'ensemble de la cavité de la coque 2, et un ensemble vis 57-écrou 58 similaire à celui décrit ci-dessus, permettant l'expansion radiale de ces pièces d'appui. According to another embodiment of the tool 50, this tool could comprise three bearing pieces, each in the form of a third of a hemisphere, intended to take place in the entire cavity of the shell 2, and a screw 57-nut 58 similar to that described above, allowing the radial expansion of these support pieces.

Ainsi que cela apparaît de ce qui précède, l'invention fournit une prothèse cotyloïdienne, notamment du type dit "à double mobilité", ayant les avantages déterminants de permettre une parfaite de liaison de la coque 2 à l'out I d'impaction 50 nonobstant la forme substantiellement hémisphérique et le caractère lisse et continu de la face interne 6 de cette coque, et de permettre de réaliser cette liaison de manière relativement simple et rapide. La prothèse selon l'invention a également pour avantage de présenter un risque réduit d'échappement de l'insert 3 hors de la coque 2 compte tenu de la présence de la partie de paroi 10 "refermée" radialement, qui contribue au maintien de cet insert dans la coque dans la position extrême de débatternent articulaire en varus. La prothèse selon l'invention a en outre pour avantage de comprendre une nervure rétentive 20 faiblement sujette à usure, dont l'effet rétentif ne se réduit pas au cours du temps et qui ne génère pas de diffusion néfaste de particules de polyéthylène dans l'organisme du patient. L'invention a été décrite ci-dessus en référence à une forme de réalisation donnée à titre de pur exemple. II va de soi qu'elle n'est pas limitée à cette forme de réalisation mais qu'elle s'étend à toutes les formes de réalisation couvertes par les revendications ci-annexées. As is apparent from the foregoing, the invention provides an acetabulum prosthesis, in particular of the so-called "dual mobility" type, having the decisive advantages of allowing perfect binding of the shell 2 to the impinging out I 50 notwithstanding the substantially hemispherical shape and the smooth and continuous character of the inner face 6 of this shell, and to make this connection relatively simple and fast. The prosthesis according to the invention also has the advantage of presenting a reduced risk of escape of the insert 3 out of the shell 2 taking into account the presence of the radially closed wall portion 10 ", which contributes to the maintenance of this insert in the hull in the extreme position of articular debate in varus. The prosthesis according to the invention also has the advantage of comprising a retentive rib 20 that is weakly subject to wear, the retentive effect of which is not reduced over time and which does not generate harmful diffusion of polyethylene particles in the skin. patient's organism. The invention has been described above with reference to a given embodiment as a pure example. It goes without saying that it is not limited to this embodiment but that it extends to all the embodiments covered by the appended claims.
